"A Plea for the Kids

There is one thing the city council
ought to do in connection with the street
car ordinance. AS it has the power to
regulate the fare and provide what amount
shall be paid tor a trip over any route
within the city limits, the council
should provide hat children under a GER
tain reasonable age should be carried for
half fare, or in nc event for a price to ex-
coed five cents, or a ''nickle' as some of
the little ones say when they want a little
candy. As it is now children under the
age of 6 years when accompanied by
their friends or guardians are to be car
ried for half fare, but this does not fill the
bill. Most of the children who go about
the city either have, as they consider it,
important business to attend to, or are
going to or from the schools, and no pro-
vision for them is made. The kids of
Cheyenne, while some of them are very
bad at times, are as a rule good behaved
and industrious, and they have some
rights which our aldermen ought to re.
spcct.
Give the little folks a show such as
they have in other places. Their rights
should be regarded even in boom"
times, and the man whose heart does not
go out toward the little folks and prompt
him to protect their rights ought to re-
member that he was a kid once him
self, and as such may have been denied
rights which he felt at the time and still
feels should have been accorded to him

Now that it has been discovered that at

paper, TO give the new lake a name, and
suggested that it ought to be the meanest
name that could be coniured up, as they
thought it was Supremacy foolish TO estab-

told the delegation that he would name
the lake, but instead of an outlandish
name (Which once given will always follow
a lake or stream, as the people Of Rawlins
have learned to their sorrow, the next
issue of his paper gave to it the name of
Lake Minnehaha, which has always fol

was fortunate hat the lake was not called

Dolliver at Detroit.

Hon. John P. Deliver, Iowa's
most gifted orator, was the honored
guest of the Michigan Republican
Club, at Detroit, on the occasion of
the celebration of Washington's
birthday. We reprint few peril
nent extracts:
am thankful that no successor of
Washington ever publicly derided
the worn out survivors of his army
or set an executive veto against the
decent provision Of the national con-
gress for the needs OF their depend.
ent families, and the inirmities of
their old age. That humiliation was
left for these later times, and for the
kind of craftsmanship that finds
constituency in the free trade jour
nails of New York City, and around
Beacon Hill, where the political So
pranos of the day, with a copy of
Emerson's poems in one hand and
the sorrowful story Of SulIivan's col
lision with Patsy Cardiff in the 9TH
err, sit in the sweet eternal dream of
civil service reform.
Nor do l offend the grace Of an
occasion devoted to the memory OF
Washington by the disciples of Lin
coin, if l say that when the president
took advantage of his little brief au-
thority to defeat the gust recognition
accorded by congress to the needy
remnant of the old Union army, he
disgraced an office exalted by the
character of the one and sancti6ed
by tho blood of the other.
But today, in this time of our pros.
perity, when the treasury is so full
that the democratic party is unable
to get a good nights rest, the man
who would quibble about the ex'
pense of fulfilling Abraham Lin,
coins pledge to the vanishing ranks
of the Union army, is unfit for citi'
zenship in the great republic.
The time has come when every
man who gave a strong hand to the
Union service, and who now needs
the hand of a friend to help him in
his poverty aud affection, should
find the public treasury open to his
present necessities. He has righ
there, not as a pauper, not as a men
dicant, not as a suppliant, but as the
preferred creditor OF the nation O
America.

proper to show in part the nations graft
tude by giving a small part of the sum
due our national defenders who voluntarily
offered their lives, if necessary. that this
nation might live, and who now by reason
of that sacrifice of the best wears OF their
lives in their country's service are lief, al.
most helpless in their declining wears; and
WHEREAS, The president OF this great
nation, Grover Cleveland, in the arrogance
and selfshness of his absorbing and sui
cidal ambition to succeed himself in the
presidential chair, has deliberately turned
his back upon those brave, helpless,
silently pleading defenders, through whose
patriotic devotion alone was it possible for
him to be president of this great republic
as a unit. and bv the force of the veto
power has attempted to DESTROY the De-
pendent Pension Bill solely because it was

His companions assumed grave
solicitation for his welfare, and in
dited telegram to his wife inform.
ing her of his dangerous illness. In
his feebleness he dissented but after
a good deal Of solicitation agreed to
sign letter to his adored to the
effect that he had been quite sick
but at the writing was improving.
The same was penned and the agent
was obliged to summon all the
strength and nerve at his command
to attach his signature, and that was
in style that cannot be counter
feited. Next morning with every
thing at sssixes and at sevens," but
with that same perseverance he
again approached his farmer friend
and after delivering another section
of the lecture, asked him to purchase
the organ. Patience ceasing to be
a virtue, the farmer thereupon be-
came righteously indignant and told
him to ''let up on that lecture; hav-
ing heard it for twenty-four hours
and at last having bought the organ
and paid tor it, as a free-born Amer
lean citizen he claimed immunity
from that lecture under the flag.
The agent denied the transaction
and challenged the farmer to pro.
duce evidence. 1t was Immediately
forthcoming, for the latter drew
from his pocket parchment bear
ing upon its face receipt for the
payment Of dollars for an organ and
signed by the agent in manner
that could not be disputed. The
glib agent was speeches.. He star
ed into the recent past and ransacked
the recesses of his memory for some
thing to corroborate the testimony
of the receipt, but no ray of light
came to relieve the monotony of
blank as to the proceedings of the
previous evening. He finally search
ed his numerous pockets, and offered
a competent mite of circumstantial
evidence when he said in a plaintive
tone dwell, l haven't any more
money than | had last night" The
receipt was later left at the Walker
House to be delivered to the agent
whenever he should purchase a stated
amount Of cigars for the comfort of
the boys. But the smooth gentle
man has not called for the organ or
called for a bill of particulars as to
the manner in which the joke was
perpetrated.

Vigilance Caught Mapping.

An organ agent from the city over
whose streets glistens and CLEANS
the gilded dome of the three million
dollar state building, has been ac-
cumulating experience in large
quantities hereabouts recently. He
delivered one OF his peerless instru-
ments at the residence of promI-
nent farmer near the north line of
the county, one evening last week,
and with well feigned reluctance
accepted the kind invitation of the
hospItable husbandman to remain
over night. The agent occupied the
early evening hours with portion
of his forty-eight hour lecture upon
the extraordinary qualities and SUI
perior finish of his instrument, after
which social games were in order
until late hour. Upon retiring the
genial host informed his guest that
if he liked he could remain in the
arms of Morpheus until $500 and
breakfast at 9 o'clock. This idea
was favorably received and the
wiley agent sank to sleep murmur-
ing blessings upon the head of his
respected host. He was aroused
from his slumbers at a late morning
hour by silvery voice at the foot
of the stairs announcing the morn
ing meal. He honored the call and
devoured the steaming viands with
a zest becoming to the fraternity,
bnt noticing absence of the host in
quired OF the attentive hostess her
leige lords whereabouts, and was
informed that he had gone to Audu-
bon. Nothing daunted and with a
perseverance that immortalized
Evangeline he embarked in his con-
veyance for Audubon in quest OF
his subject. Arriving here his search
was soon rewarded and the twain
were in close company about town
all day, the agent delivering sketches
of his lecture as opportunities at.
forded. In the evening the farmer
and agent were joined by a third
party whose sympathies were with
the former. Circumstance afforded
an opportunity for the trio to imblbe
of the prohibited, and though the
agent partook sparingly he VIZ
soon incapacitated for active duty,
as it seems he was peculiarly sus-
ceptible of the demon in the cup.

THERE is no reason to hope that
the laws enacted by the present
congress with the object of afording
remedy for the gigantic evil, OF
which Morrnonisn is the religious
cloak, will prove effective. Indeed,
fragrant violations of its provisions
and consequent failure in its mission
is the promised reward. This is not
due to thu, inadequacy or finishes
OF the law, or the insufficiency of its
penalties, but wholly on account of the
grossly criminal classes with which it
has to deal. The Edmunds- Tucker
conference bill provided that the
2,4oo Territorial officials should be
chosen by election, the provision in
the Edmunds bill for their appoint
ment by the governor having been
compromised in the committee.

the innocence Of our national law
